Thank you so much for your support!
For many of us, Christmas is a wonderful time of year when we purchase special gifts and favourite foods for our loved ones. For others the reality of their financial struggles are magnified, often leaving them feeling inadequate and hopeless.
Since 2003, Kerr Street Mission has rallied the community together through our “Christmas Wonders and Beyond” program, to make sure families in need are able to celebrate Christmas well.
“Christmas Wonders” provides support for families at Christmas. The “Beyond” provides support for the rest of the year.
At KSM we are committed to treating people as we would like to be treated. It is for this reason that we offer gift and food cards to our families, giving them the chance to choose the gifts and food that their families will enjoy.
We are extremely grateful for the love, compassion and generosity of the community. Together you have helped us give many families across Oakville a very special Christmas blessing.
In 2024, demand on Canadian food banks has reached unprecedented levels. Over the past nine months, KSM has seen a 46% increase in people registering for our Choose Fresh program. For many families, meeting monthly expenses has simply become impossible. As Christmas approaches, they face the heartbreaking choice of seeking help or going without. Our dedicated staff and volunteers are grateful to offer support, but we can’t do it alone.
We need your support,
now more than ever!
For over 20 years, our “Christmas Wonders & Beyond” program has united the community to ensure families in need can celebrate Christmas in a very special way. Your generosity has spread love, compassion, and joy each season. With your help, we can continue this mission. Please donate today to make
“Christmas Wonders & Beyond 2024” a success.
Our Christmas Wonders and Beyond Program runs from November 1st to December 31st.
How You Can Help
Thank you so much for a very merry Christmas ! My family got everything we need with your generosity. Both of my young sons are now all set with warm clothes for winter, as well as happy with the toys they got. With the gift cards we received for Food Basics and Walmart we also had a lovely holiday dinner, and were able to also get some practical items for my husband and I to use around the apartment! We send our heartfelt thanks, and hope we’re able to give back this year, to help others have happy holidays as we have.
